How to practice Liu's body well?

Copy first, then practice with copybooks. Liu Ti's masterpieces handed down from generation to generation mainly include Mysterious Tower and Shence Army Monument. The book "Mysterious Tower" is delicate and pretty, with a clean pen, straight into the bone marrow, round and thick in simplicity; And "Monument to the Army of Ce Shen", which combines rigidity and softness, stopped the flesh and blood evenly and used a firm pen, and was rated as "the first miracle of my life" by later generations. These two posts are good models for learning regular script.

To learn willow characters, we must understand and be familiar with their characteristics. Taking The Mysterious Tower as an example, this paper analyzes the structural characteristics of Liu's brushwork.

First, the main characteristics of Liu Tikai's calligraphy and pen

Liu's brush is both a "Fang Bi" and a "round pen". "Fang Bi" means that the beginning and end of strokes are angular and square. For example, the horizontal lines of the words "Ten", "Healthy", "Too" and "Right" below are Fang Bi. In these characters, vertical painting and long strokes were combined by Fiona Fang, and there was a second turning point to fold the pen, which was more angular than usual, making the strokes of the characters look vigorous with the pen.

The words written by a round pen have a round nib and no traces of folding. The way to write with a pen is: after you start, wrap up the pen, don't spread the front of the pen, write everywhere, and put it away for a meal. The words written in this way are particularly rich and round. For example, the strokes in the words "knowledge", "Tao", "zhe" and "meaning".

Secondly, some of the most distinctive strokes.

1, long horizontal and short horizontal

Long horizontal is the main pen, which is generally used in the upper cover, middle waist or lower support of characters. For example, the long horizontal paintings in the words "book", "happiness", "truth" and "industry". They generally stretch to the left to take advantage of the situation, with a slightly thinner middle section, slightly lower ends and a ship-like middle arch. In this way, the font is prevented from being slender and vivid. The same is true of the long horizontal in the words "day", "strange", "hill" and "different".

The shape of the short cross varies with the position.

If the short cross on the left is to avoid it, the right end of the cross is a little sharp, which is called a "right-pointed cross", such as the grass head in the word "horizontal" and "swinging", the bamboo head in the word "symbol" and the three horizontal lines on the upper left of the word "Pei".
